Introduction<\/h3>\n

The Legal 500 is launching a major new diversity and inclusion initiative in the United States. Much is written and talked about the lack of diversity and inclusion in the legal industry. It is a complicated issue with no immediate answers or solutions, but we want to recognise the work that is being done, and to encourage more open and honest debate about some of the pathways to better diversity and inclusion in the law. From this homepage, you will be able to read articles and opinions from a variety of commentators. You will also be able to view some of the initiatives that law firms have in place, and also view firms that have been transparent by giving you direct access to their diversity and inclusion statistics.<\/p>\n
